April....

Here is Gordon and my brother Whits little girl, Ireland...she is just over 5 months older than him...Look at the size difference...it is so funny he ways 22.5 lbs and she isn't even 20 yet!!!  so adorable aren't they!!!

 

 We decided to let Ellyn do soccer this spring...something none of our other kids have done. She is loving it...and I'm gonna brag a bit but on her first game her team made 3 goal..she made 2 of those..not to mention she is the only girl on her team...gotta love her!!!

 here we are trying to get some Easter pictures....not working out so well, but what can I expect with 5 little kiddos!!!

 Grant turned 3 this month...we didn't do anything real big..just made some cupcakes and had some pizza, with just our little family...!!!    Happy birthday little guy!!!

 Bitter/Sweet picture:   Bitter..My dad had a stroke this month. was in the hospital/rehabilitation for nearly 2 1/2 weeks..    Sweet...so we had lots of family get togethers during this time which is where this picture was taken...i like this picture Gordon and my dad just hanging out taking in all the chaos..

 We went to one of Nat's cheer competitions...got 1st place!!!  I love it, my cute little cheerleader!!

Happy New Years!!!

Grant definitely keeps us going...and that is no joke!!!
January 1st....12:15 a.m. cleaning up at nicks sisters house after the New Years Eve party, Grant sticks his hand under the recliner and Nick slides back and then an E.R. visit to get his finger sewn back together...
January 2nd....that evening Grant falls and hits his head on our fireplace....4 staples in his head.
with all of this happening to him he has definitely handled it a whole lot better than i ever would..

On the bright side...Gordo Gorilla...!!!4 months old..
